Description: Stand with legs slightly bent. Slowly lean forward, controlling the descent with your hamstrings, then return to the starting position, using the other leg for support if necessary.

Tips: Keep your back straight and perform the movement slowly to effectively engage the muscles. Do not let your body drop suddenly.

Progression: Gradually increase the speed of the eccentric movement while maintaining control, or add light resistance when the exercise becomes easy.
